Ebenezer Akinboyewa Ayodele
Cry not for me, mine was a life well lived, rich with memories and a lasting legacy. I leave you not out of spite, but to prepare a grand feast in anticipation of the Lord’s coming. In my stead, I leave you my favorite scripture
Psalm 121:1–2, to remind you that the Lord on High remains your source, your comfort, and your joy.
Until the day we meet again, remember: You are loved, cherished and above all treasured beyond measure
I remain — the humble host of January 1st.
– Daddy Ayodele
Obituary
Born the first son of the late Chief Abraham Ayodele (BADOTU of Ile-Oluji) and Mrs. Omoghimeye Solagbade Ayodele of lle-Oluji Kingdom, Ondo State on the 29th April 1943, Daddy Akinboyewa Ebenezer lived a life that could only be described as full, generous, and unforgettable. From his earliest days, he carried the weight and wisdom of his heritage, blending tradition with a heart wide open to all who crossed his path. The fourth-born of eleven siblings, he learned early, the need for a good education, the art of patience, compassion, and family devotion — lessons he carried forward into every season of his life.
A devoted husband to Dr. Marie Ayodele, and a father of six, Daddy’s household was never limited by blood. Like Father Abraham himself, he opened his doors — and his heart — to anyone seeking guidance, comfort, or a listening ear. To all who knew him, he was a pillar of kindness, a wellspring of encouragement, and a master of turning ordinary moments into lasting memories.
His greatest joys were simple yet profound: faith in God, the laughter of his children, and the delight of teaching others. Every January 1st, he became the heart of the family, orchestrating gatherings that transformed a day into a celebration of togetherness, love, and the joy of being alive.
Daddy was instantly recognizable for his infectious smile, twinkling eyes, and a humor that could light up any room. He had a way of making everyone — from the youngest grandchild to the eldest neighbor — feel uniquely valued, seen, and loved. His legacy is not only in the children and grandchildren who carry his name, but in the countless hearts he touched along the way.
Though he is just slightly out of reach, Daddy’s life continues to speak — in laughter remembered, lessons imparted, and love freely given.
So in true form, in lines according to your "Gogolarity";
Let us celebrate his story, share our favorite Memories, Story or a Tribute and honor a life lived fully, loved deeply, and shared abundantly.

TRIBUTE TO A REMARKABLE SOUL
We at Zenith Care Hospital and Fertility Centre Ibadan deeply mourn the passing away of Pa. Ebenezer Akinboyewa Ayodele, a man whose warmth, courage, and kindness touched every life he encountered.
Though he came to us as a patient, he quickly became a father and a friend, an inspiration, and a source of light to everyone within our walls. His gentle demeanor and ever-present smile reminded us daily of the strength that comes from a heart full of love.
Despite his health challenges, Pa. Ebenezer Akinboyewa Ayodele faced each day with remarkable resilience and unwavering faith. He never allowed his condition to define him; instead, he embraced life with gratitude, hope, and an infectious positivity that lifted the spirits of those around him. His ability to find joy in the simplest moments was a lesson in courage and contentment for us all.
Beyond the hospital corridors, he left lasting impressions on both staff and fellow patients. His compassion, humility, and good humor created an atmosphere of peace and connection wherever he went.
He was truly a man of many admirable qualities, thoughtful, sincere, and always ready with a kind word or gesture, no matter what he was going through.
As we bid farewell to Pa. Ebenezer Akinboyewa Ayodele, we celebrate the beautiful life he lived and the example he set. Though he is no longer with us in person, his memory remains deeply rooted in our hearts. We take comfort in knowing that his legacy of love, kindness, and strength will continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing him. May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

It was with heavy heart and rude shock that I received the news of the demise of PA AYODELE. I've known him since childhood. He was my dad one and only friend my dad ever had both at work and home.
I pray for the entire family that the Lord God Almighty will be you with you all in Jesus name.

Tribute to Daddy Ayodele
Daddy Ayodele was a quiet and easy-going man, a gentle soul who lived a life of calmness and contentment. He carried himself with grace and humility, never raising his voice, never seeking attention, and always choosing peace over conflict.
He was a man who valued understanding and patience, one who always preferred to stay away from anything that could bring annoyance or unnecessary pressure. His calm nature and quiet strength spoke louder than words. In every situation, Daddy Ayodele remained composed a reminder that true strength is often found in gentleness.
To those of us who knew him, he was more than a father or family member; he was a pillar of calm in a world full of noise. His kindness, wisdom, and peaceful spirit will be greatly missed but forever remembered.
Daddy Ayodele’s legacy of peace, humility, and quiet strength lives on in all who had the privilege to know him.
Daddy we will all truly missed you.
May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

TRIBUTE TO DADDY AYODELE.
All glory to God for the life of a remarkable man who lived an extremely impactful life, akin to Matthew 25: 35-40. Daddy Ayodele, He was many things to many people. The things that have been consistently noted were his love for his family,
Daddy was a man of valour, courageous in his conviction and steady in his values. He was a man of deep integrity, a quiet pillar of peace and a lover of harmony in his home and community. It takes a generous spirit to give away a daughter in marriage to another family, we remain forever grateful that you gave us that honor by entrusting your precious daughter Oluwatoyin to Adeyinka of the Ajalas family.
Daddy thank you for receiving us as your in-laws with kindness, thank you for all the insightful moments we shared. Daddy you lived well, loved well and you left a legacy of strength, peace and dignity.

I want to take a moment to celebrate the life of my amazing grandpa. He was a kind, loving, and wise man who left a lasting impact on my life. I'll always cherish the memories we made together and the lessons he taught me.
He was a source of inspiration, guidance, and comfort. His love and support meant the world to me, and I'll never forget the times we shared - from teaching me how to play chess to sharing stories of his childhood. I still remember the time he tried to teach me how to feed his fishes and we ended up giving them more than what we should give them Despite the chaos, he always made me laugh.
But life had its way of taking him away from us too soon. The pain of losing him still lingers, and some days feel like an open wound. It's hard to accept that he's no longer here to share in my joys and sorrows. Rest in peace, Grandpa. You will be deeply missed, but your love and legacy will live on in my heart forever.
I'll continue to draw strength from the values you instilled in me and strive to make you proud. Your memory will be a blessing in my life, and I'll always look up to you as a shining example of love, kindness, and wisdom. You may be gone, but your spirit will live on through me and the countless lives you touched.
Love your Grandson

Daddy Quarters — as we so fondly called you.
This is your one and only BABYDE speaking.
To me and to everyone who had the privilege of knowing you, you were love personified. A rare kind of love: present, patient, wise, and deeply compassionate. You had an extraordinary way of making people feel seen, heard, and valued; whether through your gentle advice, attentive listening, or the way you quietly nurtured and mentored those around you.
I’ll never forget that unmistakable honk, “pimp pimp pimp” that announced your arrival. The moment we heard it, no matter what my siblings and I were doing, we would drop everything and rush out to meet you, arms wide open. And with that warm smile of yours, you’d say, “Babyde, you alright?” And I’d beam and answer, “Yes sir!” every single time.
Daddy, your heart was pure gold. You carried compassion in your voice, kindness in your actions, and service in your soul. You gave your time, your wisdom, and your love generously, not just to family, but to your community and your church. You didn’t need to raise your voice to lead; your life was the loudest sermon of all. A quiet force of unity, you taught us the importance of family, forgiveness, and inclusion. You loved without conditions and welcomed without judgment.
One of my fondest memories will always be January 1st, your annual tradition that brought everyone together as One Big Family. It wasn’t just a gathering; it was your way of reminding us who we are, and what we have in each other.
Thank you, Daddy, for the values you instilled, the love you gave so freely, and the legacy you’ve left behind. I will miss your presence more than words can express. But your spirit, your smile, your wisdom, your unwavering love will live on in all of us, always.
Rest well, Daddy Quarters.
You will forever be in our hearts.

My Cousin,
When someone is closely related to a truly humane man, one feels like never parting with him — and so it is with my farewell to my cousin.
Eben, as I used to call you, our fathers were brothers.
You attended secondary school — which, at the time, was regarded almost as a university — while I attended secondary modern school. Whenever we met during the holidays, our discussions always focused on how to free ourselves from the shackles of illiteracy common in our generation and family. You became my role model and academic adviser.
You were cool-headed, loving, accommodating, unassuming, and a genuine family leader around whom both old and young relatives rallied. You were a peacemaker, a cheerful guide, and a dependable counsellor.
Your smiles and jokes that eased tension are fondly remembered among the elders of the Ademojuola family.
To live in the hearts of those who love you is not to die. You are not gone, but alive in our hearts forever.
Adieu, my humble, respectable, and respected cousin, Eben Dada Ogbegun Moradeyo Ayodele. Rest on till the resurrection day.

It is with heavy hearts that we pen this farewell tribute to our dearly beloved Daddy Ayodele.
Daddy lived a life of honour, sacrifice, and overflowing love. He was a pillar of strength, quiet dignity, and a soul so generous that he left a mark on every life he encountered.
Daddy Ayodele was an incurable optimist — always rehashing the words, "That's alright," in almost every sentence he made. Even in his final hours, he continued to share this same hope with us, assuring us that everything will be alright.
He believed deeply in integrity, in faith, and in family.
Though he's no longer with us in the way we wish he could be, his legacy continues — especially in the values he held dear.
It hurts that we will no longer hear his voice calling our names or feel his warm presence in the room. Yet, we are profoundly grateful that we had him at all — grateful for every lesson, every hug, and every shared moment.
Daddy Ayodele, your life was a gift, and your memory will forever be a blessing. You may have left this world, but you will never leave our hearts.
Rest well, Daddy. You've run your race, and you've run it well. Until we meet again, continue to rest in His bosom.

For Our Daddy
I have so many memories from the short but meaningful time I got to know you. Even though you are no longer here, I recall those moments very clearly.
I remember the first day I came to your house — you took me to your fish pond and gave me fish to take home to share with my family.
After that, whenever you saw me, you always asked about my wife, saying, "Iyawo re ko?" ("How is your wife?"), and you would remind me to take good care of her and our children.
You always encouraged me, saying that I should never give up — that things would surely become better someday.
Rest in peace, Daddy. You will forever be remembered with love and gratitude.
I have so many memories from the short but meaningful time I got to know you. Even though you are no longer here, I recall those moments very clearly.
I remember the first day I came to your house — you took me to your fish pond and gave me fish to take home to share with my family.

A Tribute to Elder Statesman Marsevite Ebenezer Akinboyewa Ayodele
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds my future,
My life is worth living just because He lives.
"Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his." — Numbers 23:10
Brethren, we celebrate the life and times of our dear Elder Statesman, Marsevite Ebenezer Akinboyewa Ayodele, who went to be with the Lord on Monday, 15th September, 2025, thus ending a long period of health challenges spanning over 25 years.
"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?" — 1 Corinthians 15:55 (KJV)
Marsevite Ebenezer Akinboyewa Ayodele was a founding member of the 48-year-old Klob Marsevit of Nigeria and served in various strategic positions — as Chief Marsevite, Chief Scribe, Chief Whip, and others. His distinguished service earned him the status of an Elder Statesman and a pillar of support for the Club.
He was instrumental to the Club's social, health, and insurance schemes. A life divinely given is a mother of all blessings, and this aptly describes our late Elder Statesman — an embodiment of blessings to the Club, to individuals, and to many institutions, including St. Paul's Anglican Church, Odo-Ona (SPACO), Ibadan, where he served faithfully as a member of the Guild of Stewards; his community; and the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN), where he worked and retired.
He touched countless lives — giving cheerfully, housing, feeding, clothing, and educating the needy — fulfilling Christ's mandate in Matthew 25:34–40 (KJV): "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
Adieu, our dear Elder Statesman. Rest in perfect peace.
